Airworthiness Directives; Boeing
Model 727 Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an
existing airworthiness directive (AD),
which applies to certain Boeing Model
727 airplanes. That AD currently
requires repetitive visual inspections for
cracking of the forward entry doorway
forward frame and repair if necessary.
That AD also provides an optional
modification that constitutes
terminating action. This new AD
requires adding new post-repair and
post-modification inspections for
previously repaired or modified
airplanes, mandating the optional
modification, and adding airplanes to
the applicability of the AD. This AD
results from reports of cracking of the
forward entry doorway forward frame of
airplanes previously modified. We are
issuing this AD to prevent the loss of the
structural integrity of the forward entry
doorway due to cracking of the frame at
Body Station 303.9, and consequent
cracking of the fuselage skin and rapid
decompression of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective May
cchase on PROD1PC60 with RULES
8, 2006.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in the AD
as of May 8, 2006.

Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that
supersedes AD 91–09–07, amendment
39–6982 (56 FR 18687, April 24, 1991).
The existing AD applies to certain
Boeing Model 727 series airplanes. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on June 22, 2005 (70 FR 36064).
That NPRM proposed to require adding
new post-repair and post-modification
inspections for previously repaired or
modified airplanes, mandating the
optional modification, and adding
airplanes to the applicability of the AD.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have
considered the comments that have
been received on the NPRM.
Request To Revise Paragraph (l) of the
NPRM
The Boeing Company requests that
paragraph (l) of the NPRM be revised to
apply the one-time inspections only to
PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\03APR1.SGM
Vol. 71, No. 63

most Group 1 airplanes. The commenter
states that operators of most Group 1
airplanes have been planning on doing
the modification in accordance with AD
90–06–09, amendment 39–6488 (55 FR
8370, March 7, 1990) and Boeing
Document D6–54860. The commenter
asserts that mandating the modification
in the final rule is redundant because it
is already required by AD 90–06–09.
The commenter further explains that
Revision 7 of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin (ASB) 727–53A0153, dated
August 14, 2003, added some new
airplanes to the Group 1 list as well as
all of the Group 2 airplanes.
We do not agree. We do acknowledge
that, for most Group 1 airplanes, AD 90–
06–09 also mandates the same
modification as paragraph (l) of this AD,
in that Boeing ASB 727–53–153 is
referenced in Boeing Document D6–
54860, ‘‘Aging Airplane Service Bulletin
Structural Modification Program—
Model 727,’’ Revision C, dated
December 11, 1989, which is the
appropriate source of service
information required by AD 90–06–09.
We do not agree to require only the
inspection for most of Group 1, since
the service bulletin does not distinguish
those airplanes that were added to
Group 1. We have provided an
alternative method of compliance
statement in paragraph (n)(4) of this AD
to allow credit for the modification
accomplished in accordance with AD
90–06–09.
Request To Revise the Compliance
Time
The Boeing Company also requests
that paragraph (l) of the NPRM be
revised to extend the grace period for
some Group 1 airplanes and all of the
Group 2 airplanes. The commenter
suggests using the wording, ‘‘Before the
accumulation of 60,000 total flight
cycles, or within the earlier of 4 years
or 7,200 flight cycles after the effective
date of this AD.’’ The commenter notes
that some Group 1 airplanes and all of
the Group 2 airplanes have been added
to Revision 7 of Boeing ASB 727–
53A0153, and consequently, they were
not addressed by Boeing Document D6–
54860 or AD 90–06–09. The commenter
explains that both Revision 7 of Boeing
ASB 727–53A0153 and Boeing
Document D6–54860 have a 60,000
flight cycle threshold to do the
modification. However, the commenter
03APR1
 16478 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 63 / Monday, April 3, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
states that the grace period in Boeing
Document D6–54860 allows up to 4
years beyond the 60,000 flight cycle
threshold to allow operators to schedule
the airplane modification during a major
maintenance check period. The
commenter advises that Model 727
airplanes fly an average of 1,800 flight
cycles per year or 7,200 flight cycles in
4 years. For those airplanes past the
60,000 flight cycle threshold, safety
would be mitigated by the inspections at
3,700 flight cycle intervals until
reaching the 7,200 flight cycle or 4-year
limit, whichever occurs first. The
commenter states that revising the grace
period also would provide the
consistency with the compliance times
specified in Boeing Document D6–
54860.
We agree that the compliance time
may be revised for the reasons given by
the commenter. We have revised
paragraph (l) and added a new
paragraph (m) of this AD to
accommodate revision of the
compliance time. This revision does not
change the grace period for modification
of Group 1 airplanes applicable to AD
90–06–09.
Editorial Changes
We have revised paragraph (f) of this
AD to correctly reference sub-
paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD.
We also have revised this AD to
clarify the appropriate procedure for
notifying the principal inspector before
using any approved AMOC on any
airplane to which the AMOC applies.
In addition, we inadvertently
specified in paragraph (k) of the NPRM
that any cracking found during any
HFEC inspection required certain
corrective actions. Our intention was to
specify that any cracking found during
any inspection would require certain
corrective actions. We have revised
paragraph (k) of this AD to state that, if
any cracking is detected during any
inspection, certain corrective actions
must be accomplished.
Explanation of Change To Applicability
We have revised the applicability of
the existing AD to identify model
designations as published in the most
recent type certificate data sheet for the
affected models.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data, including the comments
that have been received, and determined
cchase on PROD1PC60 with RULES
that air safety and the public interest
require adopting the AD with the
changes described previously. We have
determined that these changes will
neither increase the economic burden
VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:38 Mar 31, 2006 Jkt 208001
on any operator nor increase the scope
of the AD.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 1,038 Model 727
airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. This AD will affect
about 616 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The actions that are required by AD
91–09–07 and retained in this AD take
about 58 work hours per airplane, at an
average labor rate of $65 per work hour.
Based on these figures, the estimated
cost of the currently required actions is
$3,770 per airplane, per inspection
cycle.
The new inspections will take about
5 to 6 work hours per airplane,
depending on the airplane
configuration, at an average labor rate of
$65 per work hour. Based on these
figures, the estimated cost of the new
actions required by this AD is between
$325 and $390 per airplane, per
inspection cycle.
The terminating action specified in
this AD will affect airplanes on which
the previous optional modification has
not been accomplished, and will take
between 14 and 40 work hours per
airplane, depending on the airplane
configuration, at an average labor rate of
$65 per work hour. Required parts for
the terminating modification will cost
between $877 and $6,749 per airplane,
depending on the airplane
configuration. Based on these figures,
the estimated cost of the terminating
action specified in this AD is between
$1,787 and $9,349 per airplane.
Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code
specifies the FAA’s authority to issue
rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I,
section 106, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the Agency’s
authority.
We are issuing this rulemaking under
the authority described in subtitle VII,
part A, subpart III, section 44701,
‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that
section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in
air commerce by prescribing regulations
for practices, methods, and procedures
the Administrator finds necessary for
safety in air commerce. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on
products identified in this rulemaking
action.
Regulatory Findings
We have determined that this AD will
not have federalism implications under
PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\03APR1.SGM
Executive Order 13132. This AD will
not have a substantial direct effect on
the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that this AD:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
(3) Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
See the ADDRESSES section for a location
to examine the regulatory evaluation.

not codified. At this time, that bottle
size is being added to § 524.1044g. This
action is being taken to improve the
accuracy of the regulations.
In accordance with the freedom of
information provisions of 21 CFR part
20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), a
summary of safety and effectiveness
data and information submitted to

Friday.
The agency has determined under 21
CFR 25.33(a)(1) that this action is of a
type that does not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. Therefore,
neither an environmental assessment
nor an environmental impact statement
is required.
This rule does not meet the definition
of ‘‘rule’’ in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because
it is a rule of ‘‘particular applicability.’’
Therefore, it is not subject to the
congressional review requirements in 5
U.S.C. 801–808.
